An asylum-seeker has the right to be free from state fees in case of appealing to the court against the Migration Service’s negative decision. An asylum-seeker has the right to the protection of personal data. An asylum-seeker cannot be returned to his/her country of origin against his/her will.

Non-refoulement this is an important right for refugees and asylum-seekers and others who fear for their lives or freedoms have. These people have a right not to be removed, in any manner whatsoever, by their host country to their country of origin, or any other country, where they are at risk of being seriously harmed. This right, called the principle of nonrefoulement, is written down in the Refugee Convention and in other human rights treaties. It is also part of so-called customary international law, and must therefore be guaranteed by all countries.
Refugee protection includes all activities aimed at achieving full respect for the rights of refugees. Protection involves creating an environment conducive to respect for human beings, preventing and/or alleviating the immediate effects of a specific pattern of abuse, and restoring dignified conditions of life through reparation, restitution, and rehabilitation.
